electricity from urine Archives – The Green Optimistic green tech news, since 2008 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 07:20:13 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 2667534 Be Amazed: These Socks Generate Energy from Urine https://www.greenoptimistic.com/urine-powered-socks-electricity/ https://www.greenoptimistic.com/urine-powered-socks-electricity/#respond Sun, 13 Dec 2015 07:20:13 +0000 https://www.greenoptimistic.com/?p=58307 At the University of West England, a research team has developed a new kind of energy creating clothing: a pair of socks that use urine for generating electricity. These socks can store up to 650 milliliters of liquid by using a network of built-in tubes. The liquid is forced through microbial cells by using the […]

Cheap electricity.
